Hatching

This piece is called Solomon asleep in his bed by Erhard Schoen this is a great example of Hatching which is an area of closely spaced parallel lines, or hatches. the closer the spacing of the lines the darker the area is you can see that near the window the line are very close to each other it gives the area more depth. if you look at the bed sheets the parallel lines are father apart making it more white and it doesn't jump out as much as the lines near the window. overall this picture from ARTstor is a great example of hatching and how parallel can create art.
